    Stilian Petrov looks set to become Martin O'Neill's first signing as manager of Aston Villa when the Northern Irishman is, as expected, named as their new boss this week.

    The Bulgarian international shared a good relationship with O'Neill when he managed Celtic and helped the player grow to become the quality player he is today.

    Now O'Neill and Petrov will be hoping to re-unite in time for the start of the new Premiership season.

    But Celtic will be holding out for £6-7 million for Petrov - money they hope can finance deals for a much needed striker and left back.

    Also heading south is winger Ross Wallace.

    The 21-year-old will train with Birmingham City this week after being given permission to find a new club.
